Testimonials

  • I completed both the RMR and VO₂ Max assessments at InstaPhysique, and the data was a total game changer. My personalized plan balanced strength and cardio perfectly—no more guessing if I was under- or over-training. By following the recommendations, I hit my fat-loss goals while boosting endurance, and I even saw lean-muscle gains without sacrificing cardio performance. Following my personalized plan, I lost 5 lbs of body fat in six weeks and boosted my VO₂ Max by 12 percent. I plan to retest quarterly so my workouts and nutrition evolve alongside my metabolism.  This guidance made all the difference—now I feel stronger, leaner, and more energized than ever!

  • After completing my RMR and VO₂ Max tests, the Insights nutrition plan completely transformed how I eat. By leveraging those metabolic and cardiovascular insights, every day I receive precise calorie and macro recommendations—snacks included—tailored to my unique physiology so I never wonder if I’m on track. The plan accommodated my vegetarian preferences and gluten intolerance, and even suggested Mediterranean-inspired recipes I love. I log each meal through the app and can easily swap foods when I’m out, while the dynamic grocery list ensures I always have the right ingredients on hand. Seeing my macros broken down in real time keeps me accountable, and the detailed cooking instructions make it simple to prepare meals that fuel my workouts and recovery. This data-driven approach not only helped me hit my body-composition goals but also made healthy eating sustainable.

TAKE AWAY THE GUESSWORK AND FIND OUT WHAT YOUR BODY ACTUALLY NEEDS! Using the data collected from your testing, you’re presented with a detailed analysis of key areas of your cardiorespiratory health as well as recommendations and a tailored plan for diet and fitness strategies. Your report will contain the following information – and MUCH MORE!:

  • Biological Age

    PNOĒ will tell you what it believes your actual biological age is versus your chronological age. This may be older or younger than you are expecting, or it could be right on the mark. Incredibly, the system will also estimate how long you are likely to live based on your current metabolic health.

  • Metabolism & Cells

    This part of your report will tell you how fast or slow your metabolism is and determine the efficiency with which your cells burn fats and carbohydrates at rest and during exercise. Based on this information, you will be given a daily calorie goal and also advised of any comorbid health risks, such as a risk for type 2 diabetes.

  • Fat Burn & Recovery

    You will also receive an analysis of how well your cells utilize oxygen and clear fatigue metabolites during exercise. This will determine the correct number of macronutrients that should be consumed when exercising.

  • Heart & Lungs

    Your results will give you a summary of your overall heart and lung health. This will be used to further tailor your exercise and diet routines.

  • Brain & Posture

    You will even gain insights into your cognitive function, for which appropriate oxygen uptake is essential. Brain health is also integral in avoiding posture-related injuries, such as neck and low back pain.

Who Can Benefit From Metabolic Testing And Analysis?

Anyone can benefit! Our bodies are unique this offers us insights we simply could not get without a personalized breath analysis. Even if you feel you are fit and healthy, you may not be training optimally, eating at the right times for your body, or consuming the right nutrients to boost your oxygen absorption.

Pre-Test Requirements

  • No Strenuous Exercise 24 Hours Before: To ensure accurate results, avoid any intense physical activity the day before your test.
    Fasting: Please fast for at least 4-6 hours before the test, but you may drink water. Avoid any stimulants like coffee or energy drinks.
  • Dress Comfortably: For those undergoing Active Metabolic Testing (AMR), wear comfortable workout clothing and bring a towel or a change of outfit if needed.
  • Arrive Early: Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment to complete necessary preparations.

These simple steps will help us get the most accurate results, ensuring we create a plan that’s tailored to your body’s needs.

During Your Test

What to Expect

If you are doing Active Metabolic Testing (AMR), you will be placed on a stationary bike where the intensity of the test will gradually increase.

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Testing:

  • Overview: For the Resting Metabolic Rate test, you will be seated comfortably in a chair. A heart rate monitor will be placed on you, and you will use a breath analyzer to measure how efficiently your body is burning calories at rest.
  • Test Duration: The RMR test itself will take around 10 minutes, but the entire process will take approximately 30 minutes.
  • What It Measures: This test evaluates how many calories your body burns at rest, giving us key insights into your metabolic health and energy needs for personalized nutrition and exercise recommendations.

Active Metabolic Testing (AMR) Steps:

  • Warm-Up: The test begins with a low-intensity warm-up to measure your resting metabolic rate (RMR).
  • Titration: The intensity of the exercise will slowly increase as we monitor how your body utilizes oxygen and burns calories at different levels of exertion.
  • VO2 Max: We’ll assess your VO2 max, which measures how efficiently your body uses oxygen during exercise—a key indicator of your cardiovascular fitness and longevity.
  • Fat-Burning Efficiency: We’ll determine how effectively your body burns fat for fuel during exercise, helping tailor your workouts and nutrition plans.

Comfort and Guidance

Our team will guide you through each stage, ensuring that you feel comfortable and supported throughout the test.

After Your Test

What Happens Next?

Depending on the package you’ve purchased, you will meet with a Metabolic Expert and a Nutrition Consultant within 1-2 weeks to review your test results and create a personalized health plan.

Follow-Up Process

  • Nutrition & Exercise Questionnaire: Prior to your follow-up consultation, you’ll be asked to complete a questionnaire focused on your nutrition, exercise habits, and goals. This information will help create a plan that aligns with your test results.
  • Results Consultation: During your consultation, a Metabolic Expert will:
    • Review your metabolic test results.
    • Provide detailed guidance on how to adjust your nutrition and exercise based on your body’s specific needs.
    • Offer precision recommendations to optimize your metabolism for longevity, weight management, or athletic performance.
